Jules Feiffer has been drawing and writing for a living since he was 17 years old. Now 95, the illustrator behind The Phantom Tollbooth is out with his first graphic novel for middle grade readers. That book, Amazing Grapes, kicks off with a father's departure, which sets in motion a series of adventures across dimensions for his three children. A two-headed swan serves as the master of ceremonies for the story. In today's episode, Feiffer speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about how play has become more central to the author's life as he's grown older and about his writing process, which involves a lot of scribbling.

Short Wave - How Do You Spot A Liar?
For over a century, we've been inventing technology to catch liars in the act. To this end, the polygraph was invented and became wildly popular in the mid-20th century. Then, there was an era of "micro-expression training," which claimed person could be caught lying through a skilled analysis of their face. Now, there's talk of using artificial intelligence to analyze the human voice.
But do any of these methods even work? And if not ... what are the risks? Emily and Gina investigates how deception research has changed and why it matters.

The Daily Signal - Americans Can Now Own a Piece of a Conservative Credit Card Company
America’s major credit card companies donate millions of dollars to leftist causes every year. Rob Collins says he saw that conservative were tired of supporting woke corporations, but wanted “something more than outrage and boycotts,” so in 2022, Coign was born.
Coign is the first Visa credit card created by and for conservatives.
With steady growth in its first three years from a value of $25 million to $105 million, Coign is now giving its customers the opportunity to own a part of the company for as little as a $500 investment.
“If you're interested in the conservative economy, and you're interested in what I call the parallel economy, and you're looking for a good company ... it's an opportunity to grow something,” Collins says.
Collins joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how Americans can invest in the credit card company, to discuss the conservative organizations the company has donated to, and how Coign is providing aid to those hard hit by Hurricane Helene.

Chapo Trap House - 874 – The Nut feat. Kath Krueger (10/7/24)
It’s been one year since 10/7, so we discuss a bit of what’s changed - if anything - in perception and politics of the war in Palestine. We then look at the 2024 election, the effects of recent and impending natural disasters, and last week’s VP debate. We also discuss Kath’s recent piece in the Nation about the return of the #resistance, and Elon Musk’s funny little dance at Trump’s recent rally. Idk, we’re all starting to get that familiar icky feeling in the pits of our stomachs again about November, aren’t we, is it happening again?
